Caroling is a festive tradition where groups of people sing songs, often known as Christmas carols, in public places or door-to-door during the holiday season. This practice typically occurs in December and is meant to spread joy and cheer, celebrating the spirit of Christmas and the arrival of the new year. The origins of caroling date back to medieval times, when people sang songs to celebrate various occasions. Today, caroling can involve both traditional songs and modern tunes, and it is often accompanied by instruments like guitars or bells. Many communities organize caroling events, fostering a sense of togetherness and holiday spirit.
